Same sensor yes. Flip out screen, no. They are aiming at compact users who for the most part aren't used to flip out screens (except at the powershot g level, i.e. folk with half a clue) and if Canon were that keen they could have fitted one to the series one.

Finally, we're also really interested to see what happens when Canon - as it inevitably must - puts its new AF technology into a mirrorless camera. An 'EOS M2' with Dual Pixel CMOS AF and more enthusiast-oriented controls could completely transform Canon's fortunes in this sector, after the lukewarm reception received by the EOS M. This could also substantially negate one of the biggest disadvantages of mirrorless cameras so far - their relatively poor focus tracking capabilities - raising further questions about why you'd still bother with the bulk of an SLR. But that's an argument for another day.
